Truce cites Kenny Dope, Frankie Knuckles, Marc Kinchen, and Dennis Ferrer as influences, though "most important is my Dad who was doing music before I was born . . . Studio time with him was my biggest influence." His father is calypso artist Ras Shorty I, formerly known as Lord Shorty. "Be There" and "Uhh" are hypnotic, bassy rollers; estranged cousins to both Beneath's Keysound EP (LDN 034EP, 2102) and LFO's "LFO". Be There/Uhh is Keysound's first release from the vast, vibrant, and under-reported deeptech movement, the successor to UK funky scene.
